In Warsaw, the ADP requested the secretariat to organize, under the guidance of the ADP
Co-Chairs, technical expert meetings at
each of the sessions of the ADP in 2014 to share policies, practices and technologies and
address the necessary finance, technology and capacity building, with a special focus on
actions with high mitigation potential.

In June, technical expert meetings focused on opportunities for action on urban environment and land use. Experts from Parties
were encouraged to come prepared with actions and initiatives that Parties would like to
advance, to share experience and engage in discussions oriented at achieving concrete and
practical results. Organizations that are active in the respective areas were also encouraged
to participate by sharing good practices and initiatives being undertaken with Parties and
their potential for broader engagement, as well as by sharing information on different
sources of support available to developing countries.
